The windows "people and places" and "cargo hold" should be fixed so that they can not move during the process of the MiningBot. You can do this by pressing the button at the titlebar of the windows.

Because the MiningBot can not detect pirates, you should work only in solar systems that have a security status of "0.9" or "1.0" because no pirates will appear there.

The "overview" must be filtered to show only asteroids. You can do this by clicking the white triangle at the overview window and select there "overview options".

Deselect all and select only the wanted asteroids. These options can be saves as a preset for different ores.

IMPORTANT

At the solar system you want to work, you need at least 2 bookmarks for get the MiningBot working.

One bookmark of the station (type: station) and one or more bookmarks of the position (type: coordinate) at the asteroid belt where you want to fly for mining.

For the asteroid belt bookmarks you have to fly to an asteroid belt and navigate the ship close to the asteroids so that you get them in range of the miniglaser (10-15km). Then set the bookmark of this position.
